Section 487 Prince Charming and the new flagship

After a hurried three-day holiday, the barracks began to have a normal routine.

This made Young Master Mei very painful: young people who felt the taste of love for the first time couldn't bear to part.

Fortunately, the purpose of opening this cadet camp was originally to show the advanced nature and use the industrialized society to deter and infect the natives, so it did not engage in closed training.

The normal training time of the trainees is 6 to 7, and they can take time off after dinner and on weekends.

In this process, the battalion headquarters will also take the initiative to organize the trainees to go to the kiln area arsenal, the navy's capital ship, the large agricultural demonstration base, and the central mountain reservoir group under construction. In short, all projects that can demonstrate the "advanced nature of the empire" will be visited by newcomers.

So Young Master Mei and Zhu'er lived a hard life as a salaryman, getting tired of getting off work at night, and only going out to wave on weekends.

But there is no way to do this. Soldiers, to protect their homes and defend the country, they will have to guard the border in the future. Unless you move back to the rear, this frequency of meetings is already pretty good.

Mei Fuxi naturally knew this, but he didn't worry too much about it. Who is still in charge of the future affairs of the young man who is in the stage of love, and Young Master Mei doesn't even plan to ask for the family affairs that his Lao Tzu prepared for him now...... Who knows if the daughter of Ma Baihu's family is an ugly woman without salt?

Lao Tzu wants to fall in love freely, Yizhou is here Cao Dashuai has the final say!

In this way, after Mei Fuxi came to Yizhou, half a month passed in a hurry.

It is now June 1630, the temperature in Tainan has risen slightly, and the wind is bright, which is the best season during the Xiaoice River period.

Mei Fuxi is also getting busier.

Since he received a cultural education from an early age, he was ahead of most cadets in military knowledge. Including map recognition, communication, geography, weapon parameters, etc., these subjects require culture, and Young Master Mei learns them very quickly.

This led him to get ahead of the next advanced subject: riding.

Most of these cadets from the north will have to return to the north to form cavalry units in the future. In the course of the intensive training, how the cavalry units, which mainly use hot weapons, should fight, this is a key subject.

On this point, Mei Fuxi also learned quickly. Because in the previous battle of King Qin, he was responsible for shooting cold guns, so he had already mastered the tactics of small-scale musketeers.

What he needs to learn now is how to command a large cavalry force and fight the enemy in a decisive battle on a frontal battlefield.

This kind of subject is actually already an officer course, because it is necessary to learn the way to command and manage the troops. In fact, if nothing else, Mei Fuxi will be awarded the official Imperial rank at the end of the training camp. And because of his previous military exploits, he will skip the rank and be awarded the rank of lieutenant.

The process of learning cavalry subjects is novel. Mei Fuxi sat in the screening room with some of her companions and saw the magical projection screen for the first time. Accompanied by voice-over and real photography, the young cavalry officers of the Empire were introduced to a novel tactical concept for the first time: the cavalry wall attack.

Seeing the image of the neat rows of cavalry raising their sabers on the screen, colliding with the scattered formations of the traditional nomads, and then winning a great victory, Mei Fuxi was shocked and personally felt the horror of this tactic.

After putting himself in his shoes, he immediately realized the key point of this tactic: soldiers must have long-term training and extremely tenacious will to fight in order to put on this formation to engage the enemy.

Sure enough, in the subsequent tactical class, the instructor also made it clear that at present, only their forces are qualified to train and use this kind of wall-riding tactic.

However, it is a pity that the wall-riding tactics are at an inopportune time in the plane of crossing the crowd - with breech guns, it is difficult for the opponent's primitive cavalry to rush in front of them, and there is no need to put on a hand-to-hand combat formation.

Therefore, the position of wall riding tactics in the current syllabus is not important, it belongs to the kind that needs to be mastered, but the priority is low.

After the theory class in the morning, in the afternoon, Mei Fuxi's identity changed and became a riding instructor.

The camp was filled with soldiers not only from the north, but also many from the south. Mei Fuxi, who was skilled in riding, could read the syllabus, and knew what skills to train soldiers, became an auxiliary instructor since the beginning of the riding course.

Being an auxiliary instructor naturally has benefits: Mefusi has a thoroughbred Arabian horse.

This pure white Arabian horse named Lexus is tall, muscular, and well-proportioned, and is one of the fine stallions that Emperor Cao bought from later generations.

After the departure of the Qin Wangjun last year, the high-ranking people of the empire, who realized that horse breeding also needed to be treated with caution, immediately increased their investment in this area. The army's privately run black horse farm was then turned positive, and at the same time, the breeding model of embryo transfer + a small number of stallions also followed.

What is now assigned to Mei Fuxi is one of the few stallions that have been imported. This Lexus is 1.6 meters tall at the bare shoulder, and it is as fast as lightning, even from the north where horses are abundant, and Mei Fuxi has never seen such a wonderful horse.

BMW famous wine and beauty, these three things are naturally liked by heroes. Young Master Mei is naturally high-spirited when he gets a BMW this time, and he needs to be happy and revenge.

Then he was cold.

On Chikan Avenue, all eyes are on the young knight riding a white horse, and a laughing beauty in his arms is galloping in the downtown area. In the end, Prince Charming, who was forced to do so, was forcibly stopped by the police and locked in a confinement room in the barracks.

Fortunately, Young Master Mei was in danger at that time, and when he was pressed to the ground with his hands and feet, he shouted at Zhu'er: "Go to the West Heaven and invite the Buddha", but it was wrong, it was "Go to the special combat team to find Second Master Chen!" ”

With Second Master Chen coming forward, Young Master Mei was finally confiscated of his horses, locked up for a few days, and released after writing a pile of profound examinations, but there were no sequelae.

But he's famous. is not only famous in the training camp, but because of the newspaper, now most people know about Young Master Mei's feats, and they all give a thumbs up to the young master: There is a kind, King Zhou You's spirit is full!

After Young Master Mei was released, he suddenly found that no matter where he went, he could encounter all kinds of meaningful evil smiles, which made him very distressed for a while.

But the turnaround was not long in coming: one day in mid-June, the training camp received a notice to send people to the port to participate in the maiden voyage of the Navy's newest flagship, the Fuyuan, together with representatives of various army departments.

.......................

The Fuyuan is a sister ship of the Zhenman, which was completed not long ago. It is also an iron-ribbed wood-hulled sail battleship, and the Fuyuan was built a few months late, so the tonnage is 200 tons larger than that of the Zhenman, reaching 1,400 tons.

Although the volume is larger than that of the Zhenman, the number of guns on the Fuyuan has not increased, and the extra tonnage is all used for self-sustaining power.

This is to prepare for the next step of the South Seas.

Since the successful launch of the Zhenman, the shipyard that has mastered the technology of building large ships has begun the process of making ships huge. It's simple: the greater the tonnage of the vessel, the more efficient it is. In the future, oil tankers running all over the ocean, 100,000 tons are nothing, that is, ordinary ships.

In this plane, the largest tonnage currently produced by the shipyard is only 1,400 tons, which makes the traversers anxious.

You must know that at present, the transportation channels for the population to Ming have been opened, and in addition, Taiwan has also achieved initial self-sufficiency in grain. Not only that, but every six months in the future, the grain output represented by potatoes will increase substantially, and all this has laid the foundation for absorbing a large number of people.

So the empire was now in dire need of building large-tonnage transport ships and cruise ships to trade and rush people to the ports along the coast of the mainland.

This process must be expedited. Because according to the current development trend, in a few years, the Crossing Crowd will plan to send a fleet across the Pacific Ocean to the Americas. By that time, it is desirable that the transport ships in the fleet reach 5,000 tons in order to guarantee the amplitude of turbulence and smooth passage through the storm.

Therefore, in recent times, 1,000-ton and 1,500-ton transport ships have been being built in the major docks along the Taijiang River. The previous 500 and 800-ton ships are already in the stage of being eliminated in this ever-changing society.

As for the battleship, the third ship of the Zhenman-class has already laid down its keel at this moment. The tonnage of this battleship will be increased to 1,600 tons again, catching up with the historic ship Sea King, which the British built a few years later.

Of course, the battleship that crosses the crowd, in terms of combat effectiveness, can completely destroy any opponent in this era.

.............

Mei Fuxi boarded the majestic battleship with a happy face. The golden-blue livery, the huge white sails, and the giant cannons that shimmer with a metallic sheen excite the young people.

This time he is really cool, he can run away from the limelight, and he can take a big ship to travel, what else do you need a bicycle?

The next moment, with the sound of a loud horn, the fleet set sail.

When the Fuyuan set sail this time, it was surrounded by four frigates. The destination of the fleet this time was Huangpu Xingang, opposite Guangzhou, to replace the Zhenman, which had been in Guangzhou for a while.

After the mighty fleet set off, it was natural that it would first cross the strait and go to Xiamen for a circle. A new big killer has been added, and all parties must know that it is not.

So the fleet crossed the strait overnight. After arriving at the opposite shore, the fleet deliberately circled the port of Xiamen, and only after showing off its military might was enough, did it begin to move south along the coastline, passing by merchant ships on many routes along the way.

In this way, it won't be long before all the forces along the coast will know that the one surnamed Cao has saved another giant ship.

In this way, the fleet sailed south, and along the way, Mei Fuxi looked at the map in his mind and saw the southern world from Xiamen to Hong Kong one by one.

On June 20, after the fleet sailed across the Hong Kong ocean, the drama came: off the coast of Macao, accompanied by two frigates, the 1,200-ton Zhenman was walking leisurely in a circle.

The next moment, the two giant ships met in victory. The powerful fleet, which was integrated into one, unscrupulously carried out a round of live-fire exercises off the coast of Macao, after which the two giant ships parted ways, and the Fuyuan swaggered towards the upper reaches of the Pearl River.
